Help, why is my sequencer sending Noteoffs only?

Hello,

i am working on a Drumsequencer module where you can have up to 64 steps but show only one of the 4 bars. It worked fine but suddenly it began to only send
Note Offs and i dont mean Note Ons with a velocity of 0. It sends 8F- one with a velocity of 7f and one with 0. I have no idea how that happened.

I have attached the template. It is the StepNote that is configured to send notes. The velocityslider is out of function for this as i have set the velocity to 1 in the Stepnote. All other running lights are only "masks".

Well it is odd but i replaced the StepNote with a new one and now it is working again. But when i copy the COntainer to get a second one, the second starts to send Noteoffs again.

If you could email support@liine.net with a very simple example of both, that would be very helpful:
- StepNote behaving properly
- Same object, copied to Container (?) and sending only Note Off messages

Thanks,

I put something together tonight.

What happened was: I was doing this single drumsquencer line i posted with the plan to eventually duplicate it like 8-10 times to have a nice Drumsequencer.
When i was content with the first one and it triggered the assigned note perfectly i duplicated the container where everything is in and suddenly the original and the duplicate started to send the Noteoffs only- there were no scripts indicating errors. I had to delete the Stepnote object and replace it with a new one to make it behave normal again.

Can you please post the single container, which when copied will start misbehaving? If I can consistently reproduce an issue it really helps to solve bugs, and if your example reproduces the issue... then we're golden. :-)

Thanks,

Ok, here is the container that behaves weird after copying. Though just as i tried it it didnt work and all noteons were sent but now (after i triggered some steps) it is sending the noteoffs again.
I suspect user error, dunno. But it is weird that it sends midi msg 80 anyways.

It is a 64 step drumsequencer where only 16 steps are shown at a time (selectable via a 4step switch). The running light is being genrated by an onclock script and the StepNote is hidden lower in the container.

buggycontainerbeforecopying.jzml seems to only send Note Off messages here, no Note On messages at all.

for debugging your templates, best approach is to make an extremely simple On Clock sequencer, and one by one enabling the different features of the full template, see when it starts going off.
